ASA cleans water...
The Alexandria Sanitation Authority maintains one of the most advanced water treatment facilities in the United States. ASA is located on a 30-acre site within walking distance of Old Town Alexandria in Northern Virginia.
 |
for its customers
ASA serves 350,000 homes and businesses in the City of Alexandria and part of Fairfax County and can process 54 million gallons of wastewater per day – in terms of volume, that’s as enough to fill 90 Olympic-sized swimming pools. |
 |
for the environment
Nutrients, mostly nitrogen, flow into the Chesapeake Bay watershed and fuel the growth of algae blooms that kill life. Using technology that produces the highest quality water, ASA reduces the amount of nutrients flowing into the watershed. |
 |
for a growing community
One of ASA’s most important challenges is meeting strict environmental regulations to remove more nutrients from wastewater before they flow into the watershed. To do so, ASA must upgrade its facilities. Currently in the planning stages, ASA’s upgrades will result in a facility in 2015 that is as sustainable and efficient as possible – helping the community continue to thrive. This project is called SANUP, which stands for ASA’s State-of-the-Art Nitrogen Upgrade Program. |
